I'm quite new to the SEO world, right now I'm just a humble blogger and freelancer who writes about programming and tech stuff. Until now, I've used only "content is the king" approach and I always strive to write good content through my blog posts.<p>I've never tried this other side of the coin, which lots of SEO experts call "link-building" approach. I'm new to SEO and some articles[1] I've read seem to suggest that Google has done something like "destroyed the link farms" of many a people. Whatever that means, does it really mean that this link building approach is never going to work now onwards, and we just solely have to focus on the content approach?<p>More importantly, as a small time blogger, do you think the link building approach will help me get noticed and bring some decent web traffic to my site? What all can I do to accomplish that?<p>Links:
